Freedom as a centre

  • We were in a college in Sestao with the book Haurgintza minetan by Mikel Zarate. The writer of Lezama also attacked us one of the pains denounced by the duende narrator of the book. How is it possible that our young people do not know where the people are who are not even half an hour after living? The town of Altos Hornos de Larrabetzu is a town to which most young people in Sestao have never seen.
Andra Mari kalea.
Andra Mari kalea.

We need flights for too short travel. Every year, thousands of people visit us from Gernika, passing through Morga, leaving Bizkargi on the left. Bizkargi, a monument to fascist uprising, a hole in the iron belt, a peak devastated by forest exploitation, torn for years by the indifference of the municipalities of Morga, Zornotza or Larrabetzu. Bizkargi is beautiful on May 3, more beautiful with the next Sunday. When we claim historical memory as something essential, history has been retracted to the memory of the shattering. The para-police association Dignity and Justice called for the Bizkargi Eguna 2011 to be prevented from being banned with dozens of police guards, as false champions who once banned the wind of the ikurrina. At the very least, our Bizkargi tozudo.

The center of Larrabetzu can be carried out both by the Barrenetxe neighborhood and by Astoreka. If we do it from Astoreka, from the Zarandoa district we will reach Gaztelumendi. There is one of the great symbols of the Franco hobby in Euskal Herria, that of the cross, which despite attempts to collapse, remains standing. It contains the trenches, in which the remains of the broken belt can be seen, which a group of neighbours and neighbours have prepared throughout the month of June in talks, excursions, round tables, documentaries, musical performances.

Bureau at which the excerpts were signed

Below Barrenetxea you can rest in Eleizalde, in Eli’s tavern, the only one that has been open since four in a season. Traffic signs in the Goikoelexea district include the Church of San Emeterio and San Celedonio, which has a wide portal. Do you know the table that the Catholic Monarchs of Spain used to swear their agreement with the Exiles when they headed for Gernika? Ping-pong, ping-pong, we ping-pong, yes, this is the same. Later we learned that our recreational spot to dedicate cold rain to snow was shown in tourist guides, not only by the table and the portal, but also by the most prominent Spanish-Lamenco altarpiece in Bizkaia.

The festivities of the neighborhood were organized on June 13, August 30, August 31 and April 1. San Antonio and Emeterías. Kurrillo, who is in prison for suffering from a serious illness, will make us reasonable for the reasons why the Fedevaluation agnostic atheists keep the names of the saints for the paganoba feast. As our mother brings us into memory, the children of all ages of the neighborhood's homes would meet in the neighborhood school to turn them into good Spaniards learning Spanish. Today it is a municipal space to prepare all kinds of meals, which anyone can rent on behalf of a larrabetzuarra.

Through Uria

Uria is a few kilometers from the finish line. After the sawmill, the emblem of the local industry, Anguli will blow our heads. The palace that wanted to be a hamlet, the library, the computer room, the renovated house of culture houses all kinds of exhibitions of courses.

Literature lovers, on the three Thursdays of each month, invite a Basque writer to speak of literature in Angulegi. For three years, the first weekend of June, in the Basque literature conference Literaturia, who approaches Angulegi will be able to find dozens of books. Sound technicians ensure that stone and wood are ideal for learning to listen. Yes, the writer would reply.

Anyone who does not stop at the Irusta bar, once the level barriers against all accessibility criteria have been overcome, does not know what this is. Moro's Txikiteo bar begins with a unique ending. It has already become a proverb for people; you know when it comes to it, but not when it will come out. The Etorki, Batzoki, Gazteleku, Aretxabala, Politena, Foteri bars from the town square greet Andra Mari Street. Apart from the school center, the larrabetzuarras met at the shelter of the bars of the area, even more so from the pedestrian protection of the main street of the locality, which before performing the variant was the only one heading towards Mungia-Gernika.

When Larrabetzu was known in the world

Our holiday festivities are held between Plaza de la Libertad and Calle Andra Mari. Although the imposed economic situation has broken many trends in the street, it remains the main focus of respiratory attention. You don't have to call to make an appointment, there's always someone on the street. In front of the Foteri bar, gaztetxe Hori Bai and the church Andra Mari get angry. Cural prison of Zamora. In the presentation of the book The Church and the State Prison (1968-1976) Xabier Amuriza screamed us to remember that Larrabetzu was known for a few days in the world.

On 7 June 1968, ETA member Txabi Etxebarrieta was murdered by the Civil Guard and several priests decided to give masses in his favor. The Civil Guard came to Larrabetzu to execute the order of extermination of the civilian governor, as you have recalled, the largest number of civilian guards that have been seen in the locality. The Txapeloks, aware that the then village priest, Josu Naberan, intended to hold a Mass in favor of Etxebarrieta, also prevented the neighbors from approaching the church of Andramari, on the main street. However, sooner or later, Naberan did not intend to despair, but would officiate a Mass in favor of Chabi. From the street to the plaza, the breaks have been nothing more than demonstrations, races, stones, shouts.

Like the priest Josu Naberan, the firmness of the citizens echoed in all the media at the time, both local and external. As Amuriza told us, for a week the people were the navel of the world. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Not to the faithful of then, but to the unbelievers of today. The children under 40 who were in the gaztetxe realized it, the older ones already knew it. The first injustices, the first fighters of civil disobedience, were sotanapacible, as the most revolutionary of the revolutionaries from the pulpit of the church that is attached to the young man himself. The May that lived in Paris was delayed to June, as in Euskal Herria, in Larrabetzu. They wouldn't forgive Josu Naberan that value. He was taken prisoner to Zamora along with twenty-five other priests
rojos.Gabriel Aresti gave the conference at gaztetxe Hori Bai, Andra Mari 23, 1972. Gaztetxe Literatureliza. The living cultural tradition. That is how I can explain our country, because I have lived it.

A village that didn't change in 600 years

To satisfy tourist historians, the first signs that people lived in Larrabetzu are from the Roman era, the Infante Don Juan de Bizkaia granted in 1376 the status of city – of the larrabetzuarras – from then until the last 25 years of the twentieth century has not changed the town nor the number of inhabitants, or above all, that in the last 700 years have been the richest of the town.

If someone wants to know more about Sabin Arana, former shipyard worker Euskalduna and historian of Larrabetzu, they will find the youngest in the streets of the town by making Larrabetzu known in txakoli or in one of the classrooms of the local school, always answering their questions. Sabin himself was one of the founders of the Hori Bai youth association in 1965, together with several neighbors. He was one of those who, approaching the then priest on behalf of EGI, asked for permission to use the building annexed to the church of the 19th century, now gaztetxe. Although he joined him, Hori Bai is certainly not the gaztetxe that emerged from the huge explosion of the punk movement of the 1980s.

Hori Bai, Kukubiltxo... and others

As documented in Sabin, there are many citizens who extol Hori Bai has been home to city halls, schools, dance group hostels and other uses. Larrabetzu defended that our feeling Hori Bai ended as Kukutza. The Kukubiltxo theatre group, another of the people’s most important ambassadors, has received a kind of affection similar to that of the citizens, founded in 1977. With the catalogue of the historical cultural heritage of the locality, we should give the seat of Errebale 20 special protection measures, turning it into a space for representing the protected biosphere, the imagination. There are countless parallel stories that Kukubiltxotarras have offered to their countrymen over 35 years.

That is true and Kukubiltxo has been joined by several who in recent years want to keep the people alive. We are not 2,000 people, we don't have cops, every four days we have news of all kinds of dating as in the street campfire www.larrabetzutik.org in the digital newspaper. Like Gareno and on a daily basis, Txomin Mutiko, amuma Miren, Markel, Karmani, Lucio, Txetxu, all the Txus were as monumental as the palaces churches. I also love our corners, thanks to the people that I also live.
